Forking hell!

well the forks have arrived...

I'll remove the mudguard and the mounts, the bottoms will be powder coated at a later date anyway.

I need to decide if I am to grind away some of the metal from the top yoke, I'm planning to fit clip ons under the yoke anyway.

Will removing the material for the Aprilia tubes reduce the structural strength? to be fair, even if I do and it does, I'm sure theres an after market top yoke out there with out them anyway.

Purchased a tank last night so the look is starting to come together.
